I'd prefer you read the reviews to decide which ones sound interesting to you since I don't know anything about your personal tastes. My favorites were:

• A Garden from a Hundred Packets of Seed by James Fenton (January 9)
• The Christmas Box by Richard Paul Evans (January 15)
• The Sea by John Banville (January 12)

I am a robot. Please insert book here. BEEP. Just kidding.

Six books is still six books. I haven't always read as many books in a month as I do now. I just happen to have the time right now to read.
